- What's up guys, David here.
And the iPhone 6s Plus and the Galaxy Note 5
are arguably two of the best smartphones
out on the market right now.
So, in this two-part video series,
we're gonna be comparing them Phone Buff Style,
where we're gonna be looking at a bunch of reasons
why each smartphone could be considered
better than the other.
But before we get into it, I wanna give a quick shoutout
to Harry's for making this video possible,
who actually have a special deal for you Phone Buffs
that I'll let you know in a little bit,
so stay tuned for that.
But, with that said, let's go ahead and get ready and do it.
(funky music)
Reason number one.
While both phones have fingerprint scanners,
the one on the iPhone 6s Plus is more accurate,
works faster, and is better supported by third-party apps.
Two.
The lightning port on the 6s Plus allows you
to plug in your charger in either direction,
making it especially easy to plug in
when the lights are off at night.
Three.
The iPhone has a physical vibrate switch,
which not only allows you to put the phone on vibrate
without having to turn the screen on,
but it also acts as a visual indicator,
allowing you to know whether or not
your phone was on vibrate with a quick glance.
Four.
The iPhone 6s Plus has an aluminum back
instead of a glass back like on the Note 5,
which makes it much less susceptible to damage
when being dropped, and also isn't anywhere near
as much of a fingerprint magnet.
Reason number five.
With 3D touch, you have a whole new way of
interacting with the iPhone,
giving you the option to do things like preview and pop,
easily select text, and jump straight into shortcuts,
all by applying a little more force to
the pressure-sensitive screen.
Six.
While the App Store and the Play Store
offer mostly the same things,
the App Store on the iPhone still has the advantage
of typically getting new apps and their respective app
updates well before their Android counterparts.
Seven.
Speaking of apps, on the Note 5 you obviously can't
download apps like Siri, iMessage, and Safari.
Yet, on the iPhone, not only do you get all of Apple's apps,
you also get Google's, like Google Now, Hangouts,
and Chrome, giving you the best of both worlds.
Eight.
As we found in our Phone Buff Style speed test,
the iPhone 6s Plus opens apps faster,
and keeps apps ready to go in the background
longer than the Note 5,
giving you better overall performance.
Nine.
The iPhone 6s Plus has more LTE bands than the Note 5,
making it a better option for those
who travel a lot internationally.
Reason number 10.
If you use up a lot of storage on your phone,
the iPhone 6s Plus might be your best bet,
as Apple offers a 128 gigabyte model with the 6s Plus,
whereas the Note 5 tops out at just 64 gigabytes.
11.
If you plan on getting one of these phones for your kid,
the iPhone offers you more parental controls
with restrictions, which allow you to block content
and actions through a password-protected setting.
12.
With family sharing on the iPhone,
you can share your purchases from iTunes, iBooks,
and the App Store with up to six people in your family
without having to use the same accounts or passwords,
offering a significant savings advantage
that just isn't available on the Note 5.
13.
Unlike on the Note 5, the iPhone 6s Plus gives you
an option to undo and redo text simply by shaking the phone,
which could be a pretty big time saver.
14.
The iPhone 6s Plus comes free of any unwanted carrier apps
and carrier logos, which is not something you could say
about at least some versions of the Galaxy Note 5.
Reason number 15.
The fact of the matter is, people are taking more selfies,
and with the iPhone 6s Plus, you can make sure
they look great even in low light conditions,
thanks to the front-facing flash feature,
which works surprisingly well thanks to
the big and bright display.
16.
Because the iPhone gets its updates directly from Apple,
you'll be updated to the latest version of IOS
pretty much just after Apple releases it,
where on the Galaxy Note 5, it can be months
before you get an update after it's been released.
17.
On the iPhone 6s Plus, you can tap the notification bar
while in any app to automatically scroll all the way
to the top, which can be useful for when the lists
get really long.
18.
Historically speaking, iPhones have had better resale values
than Galaxies, so in a year or two,
there's a good chance that you'll get more money
back for the iPhone 6s Plus than you would for the Note 5.
19.
With continuity, you can move seamlessly
between your Apple devices, doing things from opening
the notes you were taking on your Mac on your iPhone,
to answering a call from your iPhone on your iPad.
Reason number 20.
Not only does the 6s Plus' speaker produce
richer and fuller sound than the Note 5's,
the iPhone also has a more powerful headphone jack,
making for a better overall audio experience.
21.
From pretty much anywhere you can copy and paste,
on the 6 Plus, you have the option to have
selected text read back to you out loud,
which is ideal for when you're reading
a really long article, or when you can't keep your eyes
off from what you're currently doing.
22.
The iPhone 6s Plus allows you to capture
true 240FPS slow-motion video in 720p,
which gives you better and smoother slow motion
video footage.
23.
The iPhone 6s Plus offers better landscape support
than the Note 5, where the larger screen is taken
advantage of in apps like settings, the browser,
and even on the home screen, making the phone feel
more like a little tablet.
24.
Unlike on the Note 5, when you connect a Bluetooth
accessory with the iPhone 6s Plus, you get an icon
in the notification bar indicating the battery level
of the connected accessory.
And finally, reason number 25.
Not only does the iPhone 6s Plus offer a longer burst shot,
but it also have live photos, which make your photos
come to life with short, three second clips
to make reliving those moments that much better.
Alright, so before we get outta here,
I wanna talk about shaving, and more specifically,
the process of buying the razors to shave,
which consists of going out to the store,
waiting in line, and then overpaying for a pack
of four blades because really, the only other option
is to get the cheap, disposable blades that
end up cutting your face, which is obviously
something you don't want.
And that's really where Harry's comes in,
offering you high-quality, German engineered razors
at a fraction of the price, delivered straight to your door,
and with free shipping.
So I've personally been using their Truman set,
that costs just fifteen bucks.
And it comes with the premium-feeling handle,
three super high-quality blade cartridges,
and your choice of either shaving cream
or foaming shave gel.
And as a special deal for you Phone Buffs,
Harry's is hooking it up with five dollars off when you use
promo code PHONEBUFF at checkout.
That's a month's worth of shaving for just ten bucks,
so make sure you click on that first thing,
down below in the description,
and don't forget to use promo code PHONEBUFF
at checkout for five dollars off.
Alright guys, that is pretty much it for me in this video.
The Galaxy Note 5's version will be annotated
somewhere here on this screen, and will also
be linked for you down below in the description,
so make sure you check it out if you haven't already.
But, anyways, thank you guys for watching,
and I'll see you in the very next episode.
